Adobe at the museum

The Adobe Museum of Digital Media presents the exhibition Inform: Turning Data into Meaning. This is the inaugural exhibition of the Museum's Curator-in-Residence (CIR) Program, a new initiative that invites guest curators from the arts, culture, media and technology fields to use the museum's online exhibition space to explore groundbreaking digital work and illustrate how digital media shapes and impacts today's society.

The show presents an analysis of digital data from our online lives, and gives new meaning to this information through a series of newly commissioned and found images. These images are based on data sets gathered from across the Internet centering on three themes: Wikipedia as a crowd-sourced network with constantly evolving data; how the Twitter platform of followers, interactions and re-tweeting ranks its various users; and the impact of an online financial social network. A series of digital artists has been invited to use these data sets to create unique visualizations of the information.

The Adobe Museum of Digital Media is a one-of-a-kind online museum and interactive venue designed preserve digital media works and provide a forum for expert commentary on how digital media influences culture and society.
